Phillips’ lawyer, Kristen Waggoner, of the Alliance Defending Freedom, also brought the most recent case to the court. On Friday, she said the Supreme Court was right to reaffirm that the government cannot compel people to say things they do not believe. “Disagreement isn’t discrimination, and the government can’t mislabel speech as discrimination to censor it,” she said in a statement.

The biggest turd at the Department of Justice is Merrick Garland
When Obama nominated that guy for the Supreme Court, it was like throwing a Molotov Cocktail at it.
The federal prosecutor tasked with investigating Hunter Biden told at least six witnesses last year that he lacked authority to charge the first son outside Delaware and was denied special counsel status, according to an IRS whistleblower — and now the House Judiciary Committee wants to talk to them.
Delaware US Attorney David Weiss made the shocking disclosure at an Oct. 7, 2022, meeting with top IRS and FBI officials — contradicting sworn testimony from Attorney General Merrick Garland, IRS supervisory agent Gary Shapley told the House Ways and Means Committee last month. ...
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said Sunday that Republicans
will launch an impeachment inquiry into Garland if Shapley’s account is
corroborated.

Democrats begin Election 2024 leading with the lie that gun violence is the number one cause of death among children
The CDC says otherwise.
Unintentional injuries are the leading cause of death among US children aged 1-17 years since 1999, totaling 126,650. Among those the number one cause is motor vehicle traffic accidents, totaling 67,884. Number two is drowning accidents, at 19,062. In eighth place is firearm accidents, totaling 2,265.
The second leading cause of death is childhood cancer, totaling 36,312.
The third leading cause of death is homicide, totaling 31,690. Among those the number one cause is firearms, totaling 19,306.
The fourth leading cause of death is suicide, totaling 26,653. Among those the number one cause is suicide by suffocation, totaling 12,890. The number two cause is suicide by firearm, totaling 10,934. Believe it, or not.
If you total firearm accidents, firearm homicides, and firearm suicides over the last 22 years for Americans aged 1-17 you still get only 32,505, a distant third place behind motor vehicle traffic accidents and cancer.
Meanwhile Democrats champion abortion on demand, which has killed untold millions upon millions of children since 1973, for which guns is just the smokescreen.
OPEC expects global oil demand to rise to 110 million barrels per day by 2045
Reported here.
2022 global production averaged 80.6 million barrels per day on one accounting.
OPEC must think the 2022 figure closer to 90 million bpd since it projects growth in demand of 23%.
According to this, crude oil remained the top primary energy source in the world at 31.2% in 2020, followed by coal at 27.2%, and natural gas at 24.7%.
71% of China's primary energy is derived from coal. China is the world's number one emitter of so-called greenhouse gases.

Influence-peddling WhatsApp message to Chicoms from Hunter Biden in July 2017 came from his father's guest house in Delaware
Byron York, here:
Hunter Biden wanted something from Zhao — it appears it was a payment of some sort — and he wanted it immediately. "I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled," Hunter Biden wrote. "Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight. And Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father."
Shapley said the IRS team discovered the message in August 2020. Even for people who questioned the authenticity of the Hunter Biden laptop — and we now know the FBI had verified its authenticity in December 2019 — the WhatsApp message was worth investigating. "In August 2020, we got the results back from an iCloud search warrant," Shapley said. "Unlike the laptop, these came to the investigative team from a third-party record keeper and included a set of messages. The messages included material we clearly needed to follow up on."
No kidding. The July 30, 2017, WhatsApp message was the clearest evidence ever
that Joe Biden, then the former vice president, knew about his son's
business dealings. Now, maybe Hunter Biden was lying in the message.
Maybe his father wasn't in the room. Maybe there's some other
explanation. What was clear was that the WhatsApp message was evidence
that needed to be investigated. But Shapley and the other IRS
investigators soon ran into a brick wall at the Justice Department.
The IRS team wanted to execute a search warrant at the guest house and Joe Biden's house in Delaware, where Hunter Biden was staying at the time of the message. In discussions with the Justice Department, they were told that there was more than enough probable cause to get a warrant but that "optics" were a problem. A Justice Department official told them, in Shapley's words, that "a lot of evidence in our investigation would be found in the guest house of former Vice President Biden but said there is no way we will get that approved."
